London Remains Europe’s Top Meeting Destination

Cvent, an industry-leading meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider, recently revealed its 2025 rankings for Top Meeting Destinations and Top Meeting Hotels in Europe (including the UK and Ireland) and London has been named the number one European city for meetings for the third consecutive year. 

As one of the leading providers of global aircraft charters, we fly groups and VIPs into London for events on a weekly basis. Smart’s 20-year experience in booking MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) charters, means the team will always find the perfect solution, whatever the size of the group, destination or specific aircraft requirements. We are also extremely skilled at handling all operational aspects of the charter flights, including catering, private terminals, aircraft branding and last minute changes.  

We handle all our MICE enquiries from our global hub near London Gatwick Airport, and the charter team frequently makes bookings for large corporate events, incentive trips for top performing staff and more intimate, bespoke senior management retreats.

Our MICE charters don’t just depart from the UK, we get MICE bookings from across Europe and beyond. Our extensive relationships with reputable operators means we can handle any MICE charter enquiry quickly and present the best aircraft options. 

From large VIP configured commercial jets with fully reclining seats, narrow-bodied aircraft and regional jets for efficient short-haul group travel or cost effective turboprop aircraft for short hops, Smart has the world’s aircraft at our disposal for all sorts of MICE trips.

When travelling to London, our private jet clients have a wide selection of private jet terminals to choose from and Smart can organise private transfers, so guests can be whisked from their private jet and into the centre of London in no time at all.

Clients flying on a private charter to London have a wide choice of airports, subject to aircraft suitability and slot availability.
